Registry woes

[Eric Hennessey]

To all those who replied to my previous post, thanks...you got me pointed in the right direction.  Here's the problem I'm having now.

 

The following code works great on the local machine if I remove the //$host/ from the path name in the Open methods, but fails on the first Open attempt when I try to run it against a remote machine.  Any ideas?

 

use Win32::TieRegistry (Delimiter => "/");

 

my $key;
my $host = "ajax";

 

if ($key = $Registry->Open("//$host/LMachine/SOFTWARE/FOO/BAR/")) {

 

  $key->CreateKey("Eric//") or
    print "$^E\n";

 

  $key = $Registry->Open("//$host/LMachine/SOFTWARE/FOO/BAR/Eric/");

 

  $key->SetValue("MACAddress", "BIGMAC") or
    print "$^E\n";

 

} else {
  print "Error: $^E\n";
}
